About this audiobook
When Shadeys Bank loses another CEO to a scandal, they are desperate to show they’ve reformed. Who better to present their redemption than a country Vicar?
Reverend Tom Goodman is ousted from his job as a country Vicar for allowing a homeless family to stay in the church hall. Meanwhile, a major bank is trying to rescue its image after the latest in a long string of financial scandals. It seems like the perfect match, and Goodman is hastily appointed as the bank’s new CEO. All they have to do is promote him as their new figurehead whilst also keeping him away from the day-to-day business of dubious banking. Unfortunately for Shadeys, Tom is planning on making a difference. And so begins an epic battle of wills. The might of a multi-billion-pound bank versus a seemingly naïve country Vicar.

In case you don’t know, I write comedy. Gentle British comedy. Having grown up with P.G. Wodehouse, the Ealing Comedies and the Carry On movies I like to think I’ve captured the tone of traditional British Humour but brought it firmly into the…where are we now? No… Not going to think about that. I also write to a theme. I write about identity, the personae we use to identify ourselves in the world and what happens when that’s suddenly taken from us. Who are we when the wave we’ve been riding all these years dumps us on the shores of Couldn’t-Care-Less and moves on? Having been dumped by two big waves I do feel somewhat of an authority. Primarily I write comedy because I want people to laugh a bit more. I believe in Hope and Second Chances and like to bring a positive feel to my writing. And it doesn’t matter if the glass is half empty or half full as long as it’s still got at least some beer in it. Although if you’re looking for cruel, biting satire then please buy my books anyway. You’ll be disappointed but I need the money. So, about me. I currently live in the Alpujarras in Southern Spain. I’m here on a fact finding mission for my next book. At least that’s what’s going on my tax return. I am fortunate enough to have been given a second chance at life. Having spent most of my working life in Sales and Marketing, at all levels and many different industries, I was finally dumped one last time when the industry I was in found it could no longer survive so much government help and finally collapsed. I now live in a funny little house in a strange little valley with my wife and soulmate (Just hope they never bump into each other), one dog and an indeterminate number of cats.
